Skill rank
⌊level ÷ 5⌋ + ⌊veteran level ÷ 10⌋
Each skill stops at its max rank.
Veteran levels
+0.25% Health multiplier per veteran level.
At veteran level 200: +50%.
Game quirk: veteran damage does not stay
A veteran level gained while the mercenary is summoned adds +1 damage and +1 magic damage.
The game does not save this bonus. The next summon restores the damage rolled at hire, or rolls again if that roll was 0.
Songs
The Bard mercenary plays its songs by itself. It starts one song at a time and keeps each song active.
| Song | Plays | From level |
|---|---|---|
| Mercenary Wayfarer's Rhythm | Out of combat | 1 |
| Mercenary Grand Symphony | In combat | 1 |
| Mercenary March of Celerity | In combat | 1 |
| Mercenary Anthem of Focus | In combat | 40 |
- Mercenary Final Cadence needs level 50 and every combat song active.
- In combat it uses Mercenary Final Cadence when it can, then Mercenary Bardic Strike, then Mercenary Slash.
- Songs do not use Mana. Polyphony and song duration bonuses do not apply.
Equipment
- Main hand
- Any weapon
- Off hand
- Instrument
Other slots: Head · Earring ×2 · Chest · Legs · Ring ×2 · Hands · Necklace · Belt · Feet · Artifact · Bracers · Charm
- It can wear Bard gear.
- Your level must meet the item's level requirement.
- A 2H Weapon cannot be equipped with an Instrument.
- Gear stays on the mercenary when it dies, and death does not lower durability.
